Synopsis
A Letter From Rome, Shewing An Exact Conformity Between Popery And Paganism: Or The Religion Of The Present Romans To Be Derived Entirely From That Of Their Heathen Ancestors by Conyers Middleton. Middleton argues that Roman Catholic worship closely mirrors ancient Pagan rites, asserting that the religion of contemporary Romans is derived from their heathen predecessors. In this reprint and abridged form, he recounts his travels in Rome and examines ceremonies—incense, holy water, candles and lamps, votive offerings, images, relics, sanctuaries, and processions—claiming that each practice originated in pagan culture and was repurposed within Popery. He contrasts the Christ-centered worship of early Christians with what he regards as idolatry, arguing that saints and Mary function as substitutes for pagan gods. He supports his case by citing classical authors, inscriptions, and modern chronicles to demonstrate a continuous thread of ritual similarity. The work serves as a polemical historical critique of Popery, challenging claims of reform and highlighting perceived continuities between ancient and contemporary religious observances.
